Take Me Out to the Ballgame

We used to take the kids to baseball games ..... now they take us. In fact, for several summers we owned (with friends) season tickets to the Cincinnati Reds' games. My father was an incredibly loyal, unwavering, life-long Reds fan. His number one grandson, pictured here last weekend outside the ball park in Arlington, Texas, not so much. He is a more fickle fan, having had a fling with both the Tigers and the Rockies, but now, as you can see by the attire, we're totally on base with the Rangers.

We've been having a bit of rain here in the Dallas metroplex, but we don't let inclement weather dampen our enthusiasm. And yes, this is the stadium where the overly enthusiastic fan tumbled over the deck when he reached for a foul ball last week. My advice: just buy a baseball if you want one.

Inside with the boys and the beers and the brats. What could be more fun? Yeah, we know. The World Cup, and Wimbledon, and LeBron, and yada yada yada; but Baseball is America's Pasttime. Right up there with Mom and Apple Pie.

I love going to baseball games. (And you thought I didn't like sport.) See you at Wrigley Field.
